Anyone here running Light Flow on their S3?

I have it... I don't love it yet. It's ah, ok.... nothing great.


I am still working with Elixer2 which I love, but IDK, maybe I will switch to tasker. I don't have the NFC stickers yet, so that doesn't matter.

Big Daddy X... Thinking of rooting my 8.9.... I love the switcher idea, and yes, it must be rooted.
We shall see......

Someone needs to explain how tasker works.. before I have too many dips in the pool!

The concept is simple when you look at it.

If condition (and condition) : (or not condition) then do this (and this)....
When exciting condition do this (and this)...

So, for example I have one to say that

IF

1) I should receive an SMS
2) From Toma
3) Where contents are '911'

THEN

1) Send message back saying 'received'
2) Turn up volume to max
3) Speak a message
4) Put an alert notification on my notification bar.

It comes down to what you want your phone to do functionally, Elixir 2 is a good start just to get some decent toggle buttons in a widget.

Tasker is good for automating everything else. Ring volume, gps, wifi, silent/vibrate and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Look into what apps are capable of what functions and decide what you want to make use of :)

Thanks bud.

It would be nice to turn on and off wifi. Silence and full volume. Silent at home full when I leave for work until returning. Screen adjustment like make it darker when I'm home at about 10 pm. Let the alarm over ride silent. That's all I can think of now.

You can do all that with an NFC profile and a few stickers.

For instance I have a sticker on my front door that:
Turns off wifi
Turns on mobile data
Turns on auto sync
Turns brightness upto 100%
Turns volume upto 100%

Then one in side that does:
Turns on wifi
Turns off mobile data
Turns off auto sync
Turns brightness down to 20%
Turns volume upto 30%

Then I have my sleeping tag
Turns everything off (on a toggle so swiping again in the AM turns everything back on)

Elixer2 will take care of that.
